Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

What are the graduation rates for students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach?

The reported six-year graduation rate for Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach is 67%, compared with a four-year rate of 42%. These measures follow eligible entering undergraduate cohorts over different periods; they are not the percentage of all currently enrolled students who graduate in a given year.

The gap between the four- and six-year figures shows why a prospective student should budget for the possibility of more than four years of study. It does not establish why individual students take longer. The reported first-year retention rate is 88%, meaning most students in the measured cohort returned for the following year; returning and ultimately completing a degree are different outcomes.

Transfers and students who change programs may not be represented in the same way as first-time entrants in standard graduation-rate measures. Applicants planning a specialized course sequence should review a sample degree plan alongside these institution-wide figures.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach?

College Scorecard program figures report median earnings for federally aided completers measured about one year after completion. They describe past groups, not a salary a future graduate should expect.

Reported examples include $64,540 for aerospace, aeronautical and astronautical engineering and $70,001 for computer engineering. The corresponding figure for air transportation is $53,995, while the figure for business administration, management and operations is $56,141. These are program-level comparisons, not campus-wide starting-salary offers.

One-year earnings can reflect differences in occupation, location, further study and the number of graduates represented. They do not show the full range of pay, career growth or what students paid for their education. A useful financial comparison pairs the relevant program figure with its likely total cost, borrowing and time to completion.
